CHU (University Hospital Center) de Poitiers, France, has chosen Sweden-based medical technology firm Elekta as the main partner in an ambitious programme to improve radiation therapy treatment capacity in the Poitou-Charente region.

The hospital recently assigned Elekta to deliver three Elekta Synergy digital linear accelerator systems for intensity modulated and image-guided radiation therapy, to replace existing equipment. The order is valued at approximately €5 million.
